Silent Victims offers students, professionals, and laypersons an overview of the most critical scientific and anecdotal findings about the factors surrounding animal abuse.

The research findings presented include notable studies on the factors associated with animal abuse, including the perpetrators, abusive environments, and other factors thought to be linked to animal cruelty. The book also offers readers an insider's look at animal cruelty; real life tales weave theories and research findings with applied fieldwork, and examine commonly used strategies and techniques for recognizing and addressing animal abuse cases.
